This Application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/EP2016/059809 filed on May 3, 2016, which is entitled to the benefit U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/156,605 filed on May 4, 2015, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention pertains to compounds that modulate the function of retinoid-receptor related orphan receptor RORc (RORγ) and use of such compounds for treatment of autoimmune diseases

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

T helper 17 cells (Th17) are interleukin (IL)-17 secreting CD4+ T cells involved in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthridities. The retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ or RORc) is recognized as a transcription factor necessary for Th17 cell differentiation. RORc is an orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor subfamily that includes RORα (RORa) and RORβ (RORb). RORc controls gene transcription by binding to DNA as a monomer. Selective modulation of RORc has been proposed as a route to discovery and development of Th17 cell-associated autoimmune diseases.

There is accordingly a need for compounds that inhibit RORc for use in treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthridities.

Synthesis

Compounds of the present invention can be made by a variety of methods depicted in the illustrative synthetic reaction schemes shown and described below.

The starting materials and reagents used in preparing these compounds generally are either available from commercial suppliers, such as Aldrich Chemical Co., or are prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art following procedures set forth in references such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis; Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991, Volumes 1-15; Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989, Volumes 1-5 and Supplementals; and Organic Reactions, Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991, Volumes 1-40. The following synthetic reaction schemes are merely illustrative of some methods by which the compounds of the present invention can be synthesized, and various modifications to these synthetic reaction schemes can be made and will be suggested to one skilled in the art having referred to the disclosure contained in this Application.

The starting materials and the intermediates of the synthetic reaction schemes can be isolated and purified if desired using conventional techniques, including but not limited to, filtration, distillation, crystallization, chromatography, and the like. Such materials can be characterized using conventional means, including physical constants and spectral data.

Unless specified to the contrary, the reactions described herein may be conducted under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure at a reaction temperature range of from about −78° C. to about 150° C., for example, from about 0° C. to about 125° C., or conveniently at about room (or ambient) temperature, e.g., about 20° C.

Scheme A below illustrates one synthetic procedure usable to prepare specific compounds of formula I, wherein R is lower alkyl and m, n, A, R¹, R², R⁴ and R⁵ are as defined herein.

In step 1 of Scheme A, benzophenone compound a undergoes oxidation to afford benzaldehyde compound b. This oxidation may be achieved, for example, using selenium dioxide under polar protic solvent conditions. In step 2, benzaldehyde compound b is reacted with camphor carboxylate ester c to yield camphor ketophenyl compound d. Compound d is then reacted with hydrazine in step 3 to effect a cyclization reaction and provide cinnoline carboxylate ester compound e. Ester compound e then undergoes hydrolysis in step 4 to yield the corresponding carboxy cinnoline compound f.

In step 5 carboxycinnoline compound f undergoes reaction to provide heteroaryl cinnoline compound g, which is a compound of formula I in accordance with the invention. There are many possible routes for step 4 as exemplified below. For example, the carboxylate may be converted to an N-methoxy carboxamide, which is then reacted with a vinyl reagent, followed by an acetamide reagent to make a pyridinone compound (not shown) that in turn is reduced to afford a pyridinyl group, which may be substituted as described herein. Alternatively, the N-methyl carboxamide may be converted to a methyl ketone, and then to an amino propenone, which can then under go cyclization in the presence of guanidine to yield a pyrimidinyl group (not shown). In yet another variation, the methyl ketone can be oxidized to a ketoaldehyde which is then cyclized by reaction with a 2,3-diamino-propionic acid reagent to give a pyrazinyl group (not shown)

Many variations on the procedures of Scheme A are possible and will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. Specific details for producing compounds of the invention are described in the Examples below.

The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound of the present invention, or an individual isomer, racemic or non-racemic mixture of isomers or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and optionally other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients.

In general, the compounds of the invention will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. Suitable dosage ranges are typically 1-500 mg daily, for example 1-100 mg daily, and most preferably 1-30 mg daily, depending upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used, the route and form of administration, the indication towards which the administration is directed, and the preferences and experience of the medical practitioner involved. One of ordinary skill in the art of treating such diseases will be able, without undue experimentation and in reliance upon personal knowledge and the disclosure of this Application, to ascertain a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the present invention for a given disease.

Compounds of the invention may be administered as pharmaceutical formulations including those suitable for oral (including buccal and sub-lingual), rectal, nasal, topical, pulmonary, vaginal, or parenteral (including intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, subcutaneous and intravenous) administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. A particular manner of administration is generally oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction.

A compound or compounds of the invention, together with one or more conventional adjuvants, carriers, or diluents, may be placed into the form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosages. The pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms may be comprised of conventional ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds or principles, and the unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed. The pharmaceutical compositions may be employed as solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, or liquids such as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, or filled capsules for oral use; or in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration; or in the form of sterile injectable solutions for parenteral use.

Formulations containing about one (1) milligram of active ingredient or, more broadly, about 0.01 to about one hundred (100) milligrams, per tablet, are accordingly suitable representative unit dosage forms. The compounds of the invention may be formulated in a wide variety of oral administration dosage forms. The pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms may comprise a compound or compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as the active component. The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier may be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavouring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier generally is a finely divided solid which is a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component generally is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets may contain from about one (1) to about seventy (70) percent of the active compound. Suitable carriers include but are not limited to magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatine, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term “preparation” is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier, providing a capsule in which the active component, with or without carriers, is surrounded by a carrier, which is in association with it. Similarly, cachets and lozenges are included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozenges may be as solid forms suitable for oral administration.

Other forms suitable for oral administration include liquid form preparations including emulsions, syrups, elixirs, aqueous solutions, aqueous suspensions, or solid form preparations which are intended to be converted shortly before use to liquid form preparations. Emulsions may be prepared in solutions, for example, in aqueous propylene glycol solutions or may contain emulsifying agents, for example, such as lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia. Aqueous solutions can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizers, and thickening agents. Aqueous suspensions can be prepared by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well known suspending agents. Solid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, and may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g., by injection, for example bolus injection or continuous infusion) and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, for example solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol. Examples of oily or nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils (e.g., olive oil), and injectable organic esters (e.g., ethyl oleate), and may contain formulatory agents such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying or suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by lyophilization from solution for constitution before use with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for topical administration to the epidermis as ointments, creams or lotions, or as a transdermal patch. Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also containing one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or coloring agents. Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising active agents in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatine and glycerine or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for administration as suppositories. A low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously, for example, by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and to solidify.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for vaginal administration. Pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

The subject compounds may be formulated for nasal administration. The solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity by conventional means, for example, with a dropper, pipette or spray. The formulations may be provided in a single or multidose form. In the latter case of a dropper or pipette, this may be achieved by the patient administering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution or suspension. In the case of a spray, this may be achieved for example by means of a metering atomizing spray pump.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for aerosol administration, particularly to the respiratory tract and including intranasal administration. The compound will generally have a small particle size for example of the order of five (5) microns or less. Such a particle size may be obtained by means known in the art, for example by micronization. The active ingredient is provided in a pressurized pack with a suitable propellant such as a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), for example, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane, or carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. The aerosol may conveniently also contain a surfactant such as lecithin. The dose of drug may be controlled by a metered valve. Alternatively the active ingredients may be provided in a form of a dry powder, for example a powder mix of the compound in a suitable powder base such as lactose, starch, starch derivatives such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP). The powder carrier will form a gel in the nasal cavity. The powder composition may be presented in unit dose form for example in capsules or cartridges of e.g., gelatine or blister packs from which the powder may be administered by means of an inhaler.

When desired, formulations can be prepared with enteric coatings adapted for sustained or controlled release administration of the active ingredient. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be formulated in transdermal or subcutaneous drug delivery devices. These delivery systems are advantageous when sustained release of the compound is necessary and when patient compliance with a treatment regimen is crucial. Compounds in transdermal delivery systems are frequently attached to an skin-adhesive solid support. The compound of interest can also be combined with a penetration enhancer, e.g., Azone (1-dodecylazacycloheptan-2-one). Sustained release delivery systems are inserted subcutaneously into the subdermal layer by surgery or injection. The subdermal implants encapsulate the compound in a lipid soluble membrane, e.g., silicone rubber, or a biodegradable polymer, e.g., polylactic acid.

The pharmaceutical preparations may be in unit dosage forms. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, such as packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.

Other suitable pharmaceutical carriers and their formulations are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 1995, edited by E. W. Martin, Mack Publishing Company, 19th edition, Easton, Pa. Representative pharmaceutical formulations containing a compound of the present invention are described below.

Ammonium persulfate (1.71 g, 7.52 mmol) in H₂O (2.8 mL) and silver nitrate (0.128 g, 0.9 mmol) in H₂O (0.9 mL) were added. After 2 h, the CH₃CN was removed in vacuo and the residual aqueous suspension partitioned extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (2×). The combined CH₂Cl₂ extracts were washed with brine and passed through a phase-separator cartridge. The residue after evaporation of the solvent in vacuo was purified twice by silica gel chromatography (1-10% methanol-CH₂Cl₂, then 5-30% THF in chloroform) to give the title compound (0.259 g, 402 μmol) as an off-white solid. H NMR (CDCl₃, 300 MHz): δ 9.02 (s, 1H), 8.69 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (t, J=1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (tt, J=8.5, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 7.01-7.09 (m, 2H), 3.19 (d, J=4.2, 1H), 3.14 (ddd, J=14.5, 10.6, 4.2 Hz, 1H), 2.56 (s, 3H), 2.39-2.51 (m, 1H), 1.95-2.04 (m, 1H), 1.42 (ddd, J=13.0, 9.3, 4.0 Hz, 1H), 1.25 (s, 3H), 1.02 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 3H); LCMS (ESI) RT=3.48 min, [M+H]⁺ 464.1.

Filter Plate Preparation

On day of the assay, 100 uL of 0.05% CHAPS (in deionized H₂O) was added to all wells of the GFB Unifilter plate and allowed soak for 1 h. A wash buffer of 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, and 5 mM MgCl₂ was prepared to wash the filter plate. To prepare an assay buffer, BSA was added to the wash buffer to reach 0.01% and DTT was added to reach 1 mM.

Compounds

For IC₅₀ mode, 10 mM compound stocks were serially diluted in DMSO with DMSO to give 20× required final concentration in DMSO (15 uL compound+30 uL DMSO). The 20× compound stocks were diluted in DMSO with Assay Buffer 4-fold to reach 5× the final test concentration in 25% DMSO (10 uL compound+30 uL Assay Buffer). Solutions were mixed by aspiration several times with a pipette set on 50 uL volume. For the assay, 10 uL of 5× compound stock solutions in 25% DMSO were added to the assay plate in duplicate.

For two point screening, 10 mM stock compound solutions were diluted in DMSO to obtain 200 uM (20× the high test concentration) and then diluted 10-fold further to reach 20 uM (20× the low test concentration). The 20× stocks were diluted 4-fold with Assay Buffer (10 uL compound+30 uL Assay Buffer) to reach 5× the test concentrations (50 uM and 5 uM) and 10 uL were added to two assay plates for the duplicate wells. With each concentration tested on 2 plates, each set of 80 compounds used 4 assay plates (1 uM and 10 uM, with n=2).

Nonspecific Binding (NSB) Samples, Total Binding (TB) Samples and No Receptor (No R) Samples

25-hydroxycholesterol (1 uM) was used to determine the level of NSB signal is prepared in DMSO as for compounds above, then diluted in Assay Buffer to give a final concentration of 5 uM. For 25-hydroxycholesterol in 25% DMSO/75% Assay Buffer; 10 uL per well was used for NSB samples. Wells for Total Binding and No Receptor sample determination contained 10 uL of 25% DMSO/75% Assay Buffer per well.

Radioligand (25-[³H]hydroxycholesterol) Preparation

25-[³H]hydroxycholesterol was diluted in Assay Buffer to obtain 15 nM and vortex to mix. Add 20 uL to all wells to reach 6 nM final concentration in the assay.

Receptor Preparation

The optimal concentration for RORc receptor was found to be 0.6 ug/mL. Stock receptor solution was diluted in assay buffer to obtain 1.5 ug/mL in Assay Buffer. 20 uL was added to all wells. For No Receptor samples, 20 uL Assay Buffer was substituted for receptor solution.

Sample addition to Plates and Incubation

Assay plates were 96-well polypropylene V-bottom plates. 10 uL of 5× compound in 25% DMSO/75% Assay Buffer was added to Test wells. 10 uL of 25% DMSO/75% Assay Buffer was added to Total Binding or No Receptor wells. 10 uL of 5 uM 25-hydroxycholesterol in 25% DMSO/75% Assay Buffer was added to NSB wells. 20 uL of 15 nM 25-[³H]hydroxycholesterol prepared in Assay Buffer was added to all wells. 20 uL of 1.5 ug/mL RORc receptor was added to wells (or 40 uL Assay Buffer to No R wells). Following addition to the wells, the plates were incubated 3 h at 25° C.

Filtration

Using a Packard Filtermate Harvester, the filter plate were washed 4 times following transfer of the incubated samples. Plates were dry-filtered completely (2 h at 50° C. or overnight at room temperature). 50 uL Microscint 0 was added to all wells and read on Topcount protocol Inverted.

Final Concentrations

Final concentrations were as follows: 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4); 150 mM NaCl; 1 mM DTT; 5 mM MgCl₂; 0.01% BSA; 5% DMSO; 0.6 ug/mL RORc receptor; 6 nM 25-[³H]hydroxycholesterol. For NSB wells, 1 uM 25-hydroxycholesterol was also present.

Example 11: RORc Coactivator Peptide Binding Assay

Assays were carried out in 16-microL reaction volumes in black 384 Plus F Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer 6008269). All assay components except test ligand were mixed in coregulator buffer D (Invitrogen PV4420) containing 5 mM DTT and added to the plate at twice their final concentrations in a volume of 8 microL. Test ligands at 2× the final concentration were then added to the wells in 8 □L of coregulator buffer D containing 5 mM DTT and 4% DMSO. Final incubations contained 1× coregulator buffer D, 5 mM DTT, test ligand, 2% DMSO, 50 nM biotinyl-CPSSHSSLTERKHKILHRLLQEGSPS (American Peptide Company; Vista, Calif.), 2 nM Europium anti-GST (Cisbio 61GSTKLB), 12.5 nM streptavidin-D2 (Cisbio 610SADAB), 50 mM KF, and 10 nM of bacterially-expressed human RORc ligand binding domain protein containing an N-terminal 6×His-GST-tag and residues 262-507 of Accession NP_005051. Ten test ligand concentrations were tested in duplicate. After the reaction plates were incubated for 3 h in the dark at room temperature (22-23° C.), the plate was read on an EnVision plate reader (PerkinElmer) following the Europium/D2 HTRF protocol (ex 320, em 615 and 665, 100 Os lag time, 100 flashes, 500 s window). The time-resolved FRET signal at 665 nm was divided by that at 615 nm to generate the signal ratio of each well. The signal ratio of wells containing RORc and peptide but no test ligand were averaged and set to 0% Effect while the signal ratios of the blank wells containing coactivator peptide but no RORc were averaged and set to −100% Effect. RORc exhibits a basal (constitutive) signal in this assay and test ligands can increase or decrease the signal ratio relative to this basal signal level. RORc agonists increase the signal ratio in this assay and result in a positive % Effect value. Inverse agonists decrease the signal ratio, and result in a negative % Effect value. The EC₅₀ value is the concentration of test compound that provides half-maximal effect (increased or decreased assay signal) and is calculated by Genedata Screener® software (Genedata; Basel, Switzerland) using the following equation:

% Effect=S ₀+{(S _(inf) −S ₀)/[1+(10^(log EC) ₅₀/10^(c))^(a)]}

where S₀ equals the activity level at zero concentration of test compound, S_(inf) is the activity level at infinite concentration of test compound, EC₅₀ is the concentration at which the activity reaches 50% of the maximal effect, c is the concentration in logarithmic units corresponding to the values on the x-axis of the dose-response curve plot, and n is the Hill coefficient (the slope of the curve at the EC₅₀).

Example 12: Arthritis Mouse Model

8 to 10-week old male DBA/1 (DBA/1OlaHsd, Harlan Laboratories) mice are housed in a specific pathogen free (SPF) animal facility. Arthritis is induced by two injections of collagen subcutaneously in the base of the tail. The initial injection (on day 0) uses bovine type II collagen (2 mg/ml from Chondrex, Redmond, Wash.) emulsified in equal volume of CFA containing 4 mg/ml of M. tuberculosis (Chondrex). The CII booster injection on Day 29 is emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA). Each animal receives 0.1 ml of emulsion by subcutaneous/intradermal injection in the tail 2 to 3 cm from the body of the mouse. The booster injection site is in the vicinity of but different from the initial injection site and closer to the body of the animal. OR-1050 was formulated in HRC-6 as above. On weekdays, the animals receive two doses (a.m. and p.m.) of HRC-6 or 50 mg/kg OR-1050 p.o. (2.5 mls/kg). On weekends, a single dose of 100 mg/kg is administered (5 mls/kg).

The mice are observed daily for clinical symptoms of CIA based on the following qualitative scale. Each paw was examined individually and scored. Grade 0, normal; grade 1, mild but definite redness and swelling of the ankle or wrist, or apparent redness and swelling limited to individual digits, regardless of the number of affected digits; grade 2, moderate redness and swelling of ankle or wrist; grade 3, severe redness and swelling of the entire paw including digits; grade 4, maximally inflamed limb with involvement of multiple joints. To estimate cumulative disease severity for each animal, an area under the curve score is calculated for each animal by totaling the sum of the daily hind paw measurements betweens days 24 and 48.

Example 13: Muscular Sclerosis Mouse Model I

Experiments are conducted on female mice aged 4-6 weeks belong to the C57BL/6 strain weighing 17-20 g. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is actively induced using 95% pure synthetic myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55 (MOG₃₅₋₅₅) (Invitrogen). Each mouse is anesthetized and receives 200 ug of MOG₃₅₋₅₅ peptide and 15 ug of Saponin extract from Quilija bark emulsified in 100 uL of phosphate-buffered saline. A 25 uL volume is injected subcutaneously over four flank areas. Mice are also intraperitoneally injected with 200 ng of pertussis toxin in 200 uL of PBS. A second, identical injection of pertussis toxin is given after 48 h.

A compound of the invention is administered at selected doses. Control animals receive 25 uL of DMSO. Daily treatment extends from day 26 to day 36 post-immunization. Clinical scores are obtained daily from day 0 post-immunization until day 60. Clinical signs are scored using the following protocol: 0, no detectable signs; 0.5, distal tail limpness, hunched appearance and quiet demeanor; 1, completely limp tail; 1.5, limp tail and hindlimb weakness (unsteady gait and poor grip with hind limbs); 2, unilateral partial hind limb paralysis; 2.5, bilateral hind limb paralysis; 3, complete bilateral hindlimb paralysis; 3.5, complete hindlimb paralysis and unilateral forelimb paralysis; 4, total paralysis of hind limbs and forelimbs (Eugster et al., Eur J Immunol 2001, 31, 2302-2312).

Inflammation and demyelination may be assessed by histology on sections from the CNS of EAE mice. Mice are sacrificed after 30 or 60 days and whole spinal cords are removed and placed in 0.32 M sucrose solution at 4° C. overnight. Tissues are prepared and sectioned. Luxol fast blue stain is used to observe areas of demyelination. Haematoxylin and eosin staining is used to highlight areas of inflammation by darkly staining the nuclei of mononuclear cells. Immune cells stained with H&E are counted in a blinded manner under a light microscope. Sections are separated into gray and white matter and each sector is counted manually before being combined to give a total for the section. T cells are immunolabeled with anti-CD3+ monoclonal antibody. After washing, sections are incubated with goat anti-rat HRP secondary antibody. Sections are then washed and counterstained with methyl green. Splenocytes isolated from mice at 30 and 60 days post-immunization are treated with lysis buffer to remove red blood cells. Cells are then re-suspended in PBS and counted. Cells at a density of about 3×10⁶ cells/mL are incubated overnight with 20 ug/mL of MOG peptide. Supernatants from stimulated cells are assayed for IFNgamma protein levels using an appropriate mouse IFN-gamma immunoassay system.

Example 14: Muscular Sclerosis Mouse Model II

In this model, female rodents are anesthetized with isoflurane and injected with Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant containing 1 mg/mL neuronal antigen (e.g. myelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, proteolipid protein) and 4 mg/mL mycobacterium tuberculosis at two sites on the back on day 0 of this study. A compound of interest is then dosed daily in a sub-cutaneous, intraperitoneally, or oral manner from day 0 until the end of study at an efficacious dose. Daily observations of degree of paralysis are taken as measures of efficacy.

Example 15: Psoriasis Mouse Model I

The severe, combined immunodeficient (SCID) mouse model can be used to evaluate the efficacy of compounds for treating psoriasis in humans (Boehncke, Ernst Schering Res Found Workshop 2005, 50, 213-34; and Bhagavathula et al., J Pharmacol Expt'l Therapeutics 2008, 324(3), 938-947). Briefly, SCID mice are used as tissue recipients. One biopsy for each normal or psoriatic volunteer (human) is transplanted onto the dorsal surface of a recipient mouse. Treatment is initiated 1 to 2 weeks after transplantation. Animals with the human skin transplants are divided into treatment groups. Animals are treated twice daily for 14 days. At the end of treatment, animals are photographed and then euthanized. The transplanted human tissue along with the surrounding mouse skin is surgically removed and fixed in 10% formalin and samples obtained for microscopy. Epidermal thickness is measured. Tissue sections are stained with an antibody to the proliferation-associated antigen Ki-67 and with an anti-human CD3.sup.+ monoclonal antibody to detect human T lymphocytes in the transplanted tissue. Sections are also probed with antibodies to c-myc and beta-catenin. A positive response to treatment is reflected by a reduction in the average epiderma thickness of the psoriatic skin transplants. A positive response is also associated with reduced expression of Ki-67 in keratinocytes.

Example 16: Psoriasis Mouse Model II

Using the Imidquimod model of skin inflammation (Fits et al, Journal of Immunology, 2009, 182: 5836-5845), 10-12 week old BALB/c, Il17c+/+ or Il17c−/−, or Il17re+/+ or Il17re−/− mice were administered 50 mg Aldara cream (5% Imidquimod in Graceway, 3M) in the shaved back and right ear daily for 5 days. Clinical scoring and ear thickness measurements were performed daily. Scoring was based upon the manifestation of psoriatic symptoms, such as erythema, scaling and thickness: 0, No disease. 1, Very mild erythema with very mild thickening and scaling involving a small area. 2, Mild erythema with mild thickening and scaling involving a small area. 3, Moderate erythema with moderate thickening and scaling (irregular and patchy) involving a small area (<25%). 4, Severe erythema with marked thickening and scaling (irregular and patchy) involving a moderate area (25-50%). 5, Severe erythema with marked thickening and scaling (irregular and patchy) involving a large area (>50%). Ear and back tissue were harvested on day 5 for histological evaluation. Efficacy of compounds is compared in the imiquimod (IMQ) mouse model of psoriasis. Balb/c mice (10 males/group) received daily topical IMQ (5% cream) on shaved back and right ear for 5 days as described above. Animals received oral dose of a representative compound or DMF (45 or 90 mg-eq MMF/kg twice daily) or vehicle from Day −5 to Day +5. Erythema score is the primary outcome measure.

Example 16: Irritable Bowel Disease Mouse Model I

Effectiveness in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease may be evaluated as described by Jurjus et al., J Pharmaocol Toxicol Methods 2004, 50, 81-92; Villegas et al., Int'l Immunopharmacol 2003, 3, 1731-1741; and Murakami et al., Biochemical Pharmacol 2003, 66, 1253-1261. Briefly, female ICR mice are divided into treatment groups which are given either water (control), 5% DSS in tap water is given at the beginning of the experiment to induce colitis, or various concentrations of test compound. After administering test compound for 1 week, 5% DSS in tap water is also administered to the groups receiving test compound for 1 week. At the end of the experiment, all mice are sacrificed and the large intestine is removed. Colonic mucosa samples are obtained and homogenized. Proinflammatory mediators (e.g., IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, TNFalpha, PGE2, and PGF2alpha.) and protein concentrations are quantified. Each excised large intestine is histologically examined and the damage to the colon scored.

The cigarette smoke model of Martorana et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005, 172, 848-835; and Cavarra et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001, 164, 886-890 can be used for assessing efficacy in treating emphysema. Briefly, six-week old C57Bl/6J male mice are exposed either to room air or to the smoke of five cigarettes for 20 minutes. For the acute study, mice are divided into three groups of 40 animals each. These groups are then divided into four subgroups of 10 mice each as follows: (1) no treatment/air-exposed; (2) no treatment/smoke-exposed; (3) a first dose of test compound plus smoke-exposed; and (4) a second dose of test compound. In the first group, trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity is assessed at the end of the exposure in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In the second group, cytokines and chemokines are determined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid using a commercial cytokine panel at 4 hours; and in the third group bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell count is assessed at 24 hours.

In a chronic study, the mice are exposed to either room air or to the smoke of three cigarettes/day, for 5 days/week, for 7 months. Five groups of animals are used: (1) no treatment/air-exposed; (2) a first dose of a test compound plus air-exposed; (3) no treatment/smoke-exposed; (4) a second dose of the test compound plus smoke-exposed; and (5) the first dose of the test compound plus smoke exposed. Seven months after chronic exposure to room air or cigarette smoke, 5 to 12 animals from each group are sacrificed and the lungs fixed intratracheally with formalin. Lung volume is measured by water displacement. Lungs are stained. Assessment of emphysema includes mean linear intercept and internal surface area. The volume density of macrophages, marked immunohistochemically with anti-mouse Mac-3 monoclonal antibodies is determined by point counting. A mouse is considered to have goblet cell metaplasia when at least one or more midsize bronchi/lung showed a positive periodic acid-Schiff staining for the determination of desmosine, fresh lungs are homogenized, processed, and analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Example 18: Asthma Mouse Model

A single inhaled allergen challenge can induce an acute increase in airway responsiveness in some individuals and animal models. However, repeated allergen inhalations have demonstrated more pronounced, consistent, and prolonged increases in airway responsiveness. This mouse model of long-term repeated inhalations of allergen has been used to study the long term effect of allergic diseases in the lung, and to delineate the cells, mechanisms, molecules, and mediators involved in the induction of airway hyperresponsiveness of lung in humans.

Crystalline OVA is obtained from Pierce Chem. Co. (Rockford, Ill.) aluminum potassium sulfate (alum) from Sigma Chem. Co. (St. Louis, Mo.), pyrogen-free distilled water from Baxter, Healthcare Corporation (Deerfield, Ill.), 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) from Lymphomed (Deerfield, Ill.) and Trappsol™ HPB-L100 (aqueous hydroxypropylbeta cyclodextrin; 45 wt/vol % aqueous solution) from Cyclodextrin Technologies Development, Inc. (Gainesville, Fla.). The OVA (500 ug/ml in normal saline) is mixed with equal volumes of 10% (wt/vol) alum in distilled water. The mixture (pH 6.5 using 10 N NaOH) after incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature is centrifuged at 750 g for 5 minutes; the pellet resuspended to the original volume in distilled water and used within one hour. The selective 5-lipoxtgenase inhibitor, Zileuton (N-[1-benzo[b]thien-2-ylethyl]-N-hydroxyurea; J. Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1991; 256: 929-937) is dissolved in Trappsol™ Histatek, Inc. (Seattle, Wash.) to provide the mast cell degranulation inhibitor, f-Met-Leu-Phe-Phe (“HK-X”).

Female BALB/c Once (6-8 wk of age) receive an i.p. injection of 0.2 ml (100 ug) of OVA with alum (J. Exp Med. 1996; 184: 1483-1494). Mice are anesthetized with 0.2 ml i.p. of ketamine (0.44 mg/ml)/xylazine (6.3 mg/ml) in normal saline before receiving an intranasal (i.n.) dose of 100 ug OVA in 0.05 ml normal saline and an i.n. dose of 50 ug OVA in 0.05 ml normal saline separately on different days. Two control groups are used: the first group receives normal saline with alum i.p. and normal saline without alum i.n.; and the second group receives OVA with alum i.p., OVA without alum i.n., and normal saline, alone.

The trachea and left lung (the right lung may be used for bronchoalveolar lavage (“BAL”) as described below) are obtained and fixed in 10% neutral formaldehyde solution at room temperature for about 15 h. After being embedded in paraffin, the tissues are cut into 5-um sections and processed with the different staining or immunolabling further. Discombe's eosinophil staining is used for counting the cell numbers with the counterstain of methylene blue. The eosinophil number per unit airway area (2,200 um²) is determined by morphometry (J. Pathol. 1992; 166: 395-404; Am Rev Respir Dis. 1993; 147:448-456). Fibrosis is identified with the Masson's trichrome staining. Airway mucus iss identified by the following staining method: methylene blue, hematoxylin and eosin, mucicarmine, alcian blue, and alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction (Troyer, H., “Carbohydrates” in Principles and Techniques of Histochemistry, Little, Brown and Company, Boston, Mass., 1980: 89-121; Sheehan, D. C., et al., “Carbohydrates” in Theory and Practice of Histotechnology, Battle Press, Columbus, Ohio, 1980: 159-179) Mucin is stained with mucicarmine solution; metanil yellow counterstain is employed. Acidic mucin and sulfated mucosubstances are stained with alcian blue, pH 2.5; nuclear fast red counterstain is used. Neutral and acidic mucosubstances are identified by alcian blue, pH 2.5, and PAS reaction. The degree of mucus plugging of the airways (0.5-0.8 mm in diameter) is also assessed by morphometry. The percent occlusion of airway diameter by mucus iss classified on a semiquantitative scale from 0 to 4+. The histologic and morphometric analyses may be performed by individuals blinded to the protocol design.

On day 28, 24 hours after the last i.n. administration of either normal saline or OVA, pulmonary mechanics to intravenous infusion of methacholine may be determined in mice in vivo by a plethysmographic method as previously described (10, 1958; 192: 364-368; J. Appl. Physiol. 1988; 64: 2318-2323; J. Exp. Med. 1996; 184: 1483-1494).

After tying off the left lung at the mainstem bronchus, the right lung may be lavaged three times with 0.4 ml of normal saline. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cells from a 0.05-ml aliquot of the pooled sample are counted using a hemocytometer and the remaining fluid centrifuged at 4° C. for 10 minutes at 200 g. The supernatant may be stored at 70.degree. C. until eicosanoid analysis is performed. After resuspension of the cell pellet in normal saline containing 10% bovine serum albumin (“BSA”), BAL cell smears are made on glass slides. To stain eosinophils, dried slides are stained with Discombe's diluting fluid (0.05% aqueous eosin and 5% acetone (vol/vol) in distilled water; J. Exp. Med. 1970; 131: 1271-1287) for 5-8 minutes, rinsed with water for 0.5 minutes, and counterstained with 0.07% methylene blue for 2 minutes.
